Our MAC Address API outputs a field called macAddressDetails.virtualMachine. If it detects that a Virtual Machine is using this MAC address, it outputs its vendor name (e.g. ”VMWare”). Otherwise, it outputs “Not detected”.To detect the Virtual Machines, we build our VM Knowledge Base, which stores information about known relations between MAC addresses and Virtual Machines, and patterns, based on which the Virtual Machines assign MAC addresses to the virtual network interfaces.This information comes from the two sources:We constantly scan the Internet for such information. It’s systemized, stored and verified.Our research team installed the Virtual Machines and performed experiments, trying to identify patterns on how their network interfaces receive MAC addresses.Virtual Machine’s MAC rangesHow to recognise a VMwares virtual machine by its MAC address?How to recognise a Parallels virtual machine by its MAC address?How to recognise a Docker container by its MAC address?How to recognise a Microsoft Hyper-Vs virtual machine by its MAC address?How to recognise an Oracle Virtual machine by its MAC address?Detection rules which dont have their dedicated page yetVirtual Machine NameOUI or rangeReferencesRed Hat Xen, XenSource, Novell Xen00:16:3E:00:00:00 to 00:16:3E:FF:FF:FFMaking sure youre not a bot!Hey VM, Whats Your Hypervisor? -- Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine Onlinehttps://www.techrepublic.com/blog/data-center/mac-address-scorecard-for-common-virtual-machine-platformsMicrosoft SCVMM (System Center Virtual Machine Manager)00:1D:D8:B7:1C:00 to 00:1D:D8:F4:1F:FFhttp://techgenix.com/mac-address-pool-duplication-hyper-v/https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center/vmm/network-mac?viewsc-vmm-1807https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/gbanin/2014/08/27/how-to-solve-mac-address-conflict-on-hyper-v/Microsoft Virtual PC / Virtual Server00:03:FF:00:00:00 to 00:03:FF:FF:FF:FFHey VM, Whats Your Hypervisor? -- Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine Onlinehttps://www.techrepublic.com/blog/data-center/mac-address-scorecard-for-common-virtual-machine-platforms/https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/medv/2011/01/24/how-to-manage-vm-mac-addresses-with-the-globalimagedata-xml-file-in-med-v-v1/SWsoft00:18:51:00:00:00 to 00:18:51:FF:FF:FFHey VM, Whats Your Hypervisor? -- Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine Onlinebhyve by FreebsdF58:9C:FC:00:00:00 to 58:9C:FC:FF:FF:FFhttps://macaddress.io/statistics/company/17619Nutanix AHV50:6B:8D:00:00:00 to 50:6B:8D:FF:FF:FFhttps://macaddress.io/statistics/company/17388KVM (proxmox)54:52:00:00:00:00 to 54:52:FF:FF:FF:FFhttps://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t26739Hetzner vServer (based on KVM and libvirt)96:00:00:00:00:00 to 96:00:FF:FF:FF:FFSelf testedWe are warmly welcoming your thoughts and suggestions with regard to this article.
